You can put four good sized locks on it. I also recommend throwing another backup set up locks inside the case...just in case the TSA cuts yours for whatever reason...not saying its likely..but if they do, you will have spares ready to go and not have to get a new flight.

Yes you can lock the case. It has four holes to place locks in. I recommend No. 7KALF from Master Lock locks. These locks fit the case perfectly and are much tougher than the light weight TSA locks. Also buy them from a locksmith and he can get them keyed alike for you. I have 4 cases, 8 locks, and I only need one key. For traveling, try this procedure: 1)Show up early, the TSA process will take up to additional 45 mins. 2) Carry current supporting documentation for firearms travel from TSA's website and the website of the airline you are traveling on. This is huge. This way there will be no confusion as to what is legal and what is not (TSA/airline reps are not standardized like they should be). If questions come up, and they will, ask for a supervisor and show them your current documentation and they back down very quickly. 3) After filling out your declared card, take your case to the TSA inspection area and/or follow it there and personally watch it get scanned. This is the point where if a lock needs to be open you are standing there with the key. Once it passes this point the do not open the case again.

I am sure the answer is YES. I have bought this case, used it on the airline from FL to KS... No problem at all.Heavy duty, will take all abuse... It has 4 latches, and 4 holes you can use your own locks to secure

Yes it has the capability to be locked. It's supposed to be one of the best gun cases for airline travel. I am 160 lbs and could stand on it with no damage my 3000 dollar rifles.

I put all my high priced firearms in here to travel. It is very high quality. Same cases that ESPN and other TV stations use to transport their $80,000 HD cameras. Make sure you buy the TSA approved locks so that they dont have to cut your locks.

The case has a zipper lock with a small key. It works fine, but there is really no practical way to put a serious lock on it. If I go out with it, I keep it close by and never out of my sight.

The case is a typical guitar case for carrying, but not heavy duty for checking baggage. No place for a lock.

Yes, I used tiny TSA lock and TSA Cable lock. It was annoying that the zippers were not the same size and the locks did not fit properly on one of the zippers. I think I used the cable lock on the pull tabs because neither would actually go through the more secure part. Should be changed by High Sierra. I would suggest the belt locks (that wrap entire suitcase) that for added security.

There is a location for a padlock. We use a simple Masterlock when traveling.

I don't remember a place for locks. Also, the box is not meant to be moved much and definitely not appropriate for airline travel. I traveled with two trunks. One arrived with a split side and the other had one of the flip-locks broken off. Luckily I only needed them for one way.

I've never flown with it, but the case is pretty rugged. There is no lock on the case, so what happens to your instrument once you check it in is questionable. It would be difficult to fit the case under a seat or in the overhead. Also, you should know there is no storage room in the case, only room for one mouthpiece and the neck. All else goes in the bell.

Perfect for air travel you can lock the case with TSA approved locks no problem

Hi tracey. This is Tom. We are very happy with the bag. It holds plenty and works great on top of the car. There is not a lock feature . I think the only solution in terms of security would be a hard case which would be a very different experience. This bag neatly folds away and is easy to manuveur. If u have any other wuestions i would be glad to help. Take care

The case has a hole on the handle area, you can put a master lock or similar brand lock to secure case.

Doug, it WILL lock, but not with a regular mini-padlock. It'll lock with a cable-type lock through the zipper hinges.(note to mfr: it needs holes in the zippers for a padlock!) I keot it clipped to the telescoping uprights on my suitcase all through Europe for a month last June. It will also easily hold you big Sigma gun lens. It's a great case. Let me know when you get it and I'll send you a photo of the way it straps to a carry-on bag.

There is not a locking mechanism. I haven't thought of a great solution for this other than locking or zip-tying the zippers together. If someone really wants to steal it, there's not much you can do to stop them. However, it would be a little bit of a hassle to do so if it's attached at all 6 tie-down points. It is a fantastic travel device for my family, but I am probably going to build some kind of frame for it so that it stays erect with nothing in it.

Great case, and is very sturdy. However, lock is not included so be sure to grab one of those as well

Have not attempted to lock. On flights, all other times, I keep it in my sight so no need to lock. Sorry I could not help.

Yes. There is provision in the handle for a lock. I have traveled with it many times without a lock and have never had a problem. I can understand your concern with all the TSA stories.

There are four locking points on the case. This is a very secure and durable gun case. If traveling remember to use secure locks and not TSA locks.

no it is really not lockable, but a nice case. You might could hang a small lock thru the handles
